what is the best blu ray drive software for windows 7?

If you want to play an encrypted Bluray disk ( almost all movie disks are encrypted) as you would play on a hardware Bluray player with all features, then your only option is to go in for standard authorised bluray software players. I say authorised as only these players pay a royalty to the Bluray Disk Association permitting them to decrypt the disks and play for your pleasure. There are only a handful of such players like Cyberlink's Power DVD, Arcsoft's Total Media theatre, Corel's WinDVD and Nero's Player ( not available as a standalone player unlike the other three but bundled with their multimedia suite). They do cost and quite substantially because of the royalty factor....

Great info. Thanks.

+1 :)

I googled it: Free download Blu Ray Ripper, Mac Blu-ray Ripper, Blu Ray Creator, BD/DVD to MKV Converter, Blu-ray Copy, Blu Ray Player I wonder if they're available on free version

I haven't tried, but I think the free version is always limited in some functionality...

Stay away from unscrupulous sites/vendors selling pirated copies.

In the above site, nothing is free. ( Free only to try)

If you order you will get old versions with illegally hacked registration.You will not get any support/updates from the real vendor of the products. You will be bluntly told that it is a pirated copy.

For example, you can download the free version of Bluray Player. It will be a trial version of Power DVD 10 Ultra. If you order ($99) - just click on the title Bluray Player and you will see yourself -you will get a pirated copy of the same. ( The current version is Power DVD 12 and Cyberlink does not sell 8, 9, 10 or 11 any longer. So who sells it?)

Crazyly insightful opinion!!

Not an opinion but a fact.

OK, here it goes bust.

One can download the 7-day free trial version of 123 Copy DVD Platinum 2013 here: 123 Copy DVD - 123 Copy DVD Platinum

Hmmm.............it cannot decrypt most of the BDs.

With Night At the Museum - Battle of the Smithsonian - Bluray Disc



With the default free boooya Addin plug-in from boooya.com which it forces on you during insatallation - God knows what this boooya.com is :)



When you say "YES" your knowledge is going to get enhanced.

123 Copy DVD - Disc Decryption

Gist of the knowledgebase article::

The free boooya plug-in does not support the newer types of BD+ secondary Blu-ray protecion.

Use MakeMKV to decrypt and then use DVD 123

Buy anyDVD HD

Is this reactivation of the expired plug-in?

And so it requires third party software.

Why would one buy this to play Blurays? !!!!!!!!!!
